The supermodel took to her Twitter to dispel any rumors that she might be not be squad member #1. > [](https://twitter.com/karliekloss/status/765391284005695488) > [](https://twitter.com/karliekloss/status/765410661342019584) Duly noted, Karlie. In case you thought the drama of [Taylor Swift and Kimye’s feud](http://time.com/4411055/kanye-west-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/) was cooling down, think again. In an interview with the UK’s [_The Times_](http://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/style/how-do-you-get-to-look-like-karlie-kloss-2mw8s87w8), supermodel and T. Swift BFF [Karlie Kloss](http://motto.time.com/4300164/karlie-kloss-time-100-video/) revealed that she thinks Swift’s [arch-nemesis Kim Kardashian West](http://time.com/4410084/kanye-kim-kardashian-taylor-famous-call/) is a “lovely person.” Kloss attempted to broker for neutrality with her seemingly innocuous statement —”I think she’s been a lovely person to me in the past” — but in the [beef of our generation, there is no neutrality](http://time.com/4418983/fergie-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/). As the many [celebrity friends and foes who have weighed in](http://time.com/4410615/taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-kanye-west-celebrities/) on this very important cultural issue have indicated, there are only two teams: Team Swift or Team Kimye. This puts Kloss, a key member of the Taylor Swift Friendship Industrial Complex (otherwise known as the “Squad”) firmly into enemy territory. Your move, Taylor. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4452476/karlie-kloss-kim-kardashian-west/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4452476/karlie-kloss-kim-kardashian-west/"},"headline":"Even Though Taylor Swift's BFF Karlie Kloss Thinks Kim Kardashian West Is a 'Lovely Person', She's Definitely Team Taylor","datePublished":"2016-08-15T17:31:06.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T04:08:25.000Z","description":"Team Taylor for life","url":"https://time.com/4452476/karlie-kloss-kim-kardashian-west/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Taylor Swift","celebrity","karlie kloss","kim kardashian west"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4c4a2d5a2ef87ac4/6988a2608e0601405b467253/karlie-kloss-kim-kardashian-west.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt4c4a2d5a2ef87ac4/6988a2608e0601405b467253/karlie-kloss-kim-kardashian-west.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2014 American Music Awards - Roaming Show","caption":"2014 American Music Awards - Roaming Show","creditText":"Kevin Mazur/AMA2014—WireImage","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4452476/karlie-kloss-kim-kardashian-west/","name":"Even Though Taylor Swift's BFF Karlie Kloss Thinks Kim Kardashian West Is a 'Lovely Person', She's Definitely Team Taylor"}}]}] ```
